Pabna Unrest



Pabna Unrest:
Pabna Unrest was an agrarian unrest. It started in 1873 and continued upto 1885. It was directed against the oppressive zamindars. The peasants adopted the methodology of resisting the payment of revenue which was over and above the legal limits. The Bengal leaders like Bankim Chandra Chatterjea, R. C. Dutt and Surendranath Banerjea, the young Bengalis who were forming an all India ideology of counter the imperialistic rule of Britain, supported it. The time period of 70s and 80s suggests that the Indians had started evolving an ideology against the oppressive rule. However, in the Pabna Unrest, there was no indication of direct opposition to the British rule. It was not an anti-British war cry. They had rather projected that they supported Her Majesty government.

Pragyanparmita



Pragyanparmita:
Pragyanparmita was a feminine divinity of the Mahayana School of Buddhism. The word Pragyanparmita means ‘Perfection of Insight’. Pragyanparmita are the main attributes of a Boddhistava. They are ten in numbers. It was given a feminine character. Later, it was in itself treated as one of the Boddhistava.

Later, the rise of feminine divinities gave rise to the third school of Buddhism which is known as Vajrayana. In Vajrayana, the Buddhas and Boddhistavas have their female counterparts also who were active in the world.
